He wouldn't listen to the sound advice he got here, and now the poor guy must learn the hard way--- on the tables. There's an old adage, "You don't have to jump in the lake to know you're going to get wet." View attachment 7120Conversely, there's an equally old saying, "Experience is the best teacher." Look at it this way. We haven't given up on Picasso, we've simply turned him over to a better teacher.

I've been up +$20,000 on 2 seperate occasions.. Each instance winning 15 straight sessions or more.blackjacktilt said:
So feel free to call this garbage..
Did I lose after that ? I certainly did..Its bound to happen. I lost $5000 on the next session. But was still up +$15,000 at that casino...so I stopped & quit then.
This is how I legitimately play & win. If you think i'm nuts, then feel free & ban me. Am I trying to get others to do the same ? hel* no , i've seen how the odds can go. Just telling my side & my experience.
Even in the long term, you're talking nickels & dimes for the most part.. I find there are better chances with other approaches.

In the long term counting will get you the 'nickels and dimes' you refer to.
But in the long term a martingale will only get you broke.

I am sure that out of every so many people, a few actually win consistently using progressions. Just like people who don't do anything special but bet big. Some people I am sure win all or most of their big bets. I for instance have played roulette now 3 times for $500, $2,000 and $500 wins. But I advise anyone to ignore my success, since it was based purely on luck and steaming behavior. I refer to think if such actions as stupid, even though I was lucky and won. If you are using progressions, I advise you to think the same way, because the next outing may be the one that drags you into a black hole free fall. Or if you have stop losses, the next several may do equivalently the same thing. The odds are more in favor of it than against considering that BJ itself is a -EV game. If you ignore my caution, all I can say is, "Enjoy your trip!"mikeinjersey said:

So what's your point in sharing this information if you're not trying to convince others to do it? The only reasons I can think of would be:mikeinjersey said:
1. To satisfy your own overly inflated ego by bragging up a storm.
2. Because you're extremely shallow and weak-minded, very unsure of yourself, looking for positive reinforcement in cyberspace because you're not getting any in real life. You're not getting it here either, but then again you certainly don't seem to be a very quick learner.
These 2 go hand in hand and such behavior is a recipe for disaster, as are your insane progressions. Sorry to be so harsh but you need to hear this! You don't seem to understand, or deliberately reject when people talk logically or factually to you, so maybe if someone gets right in your face and tells you in specific terms that you're being an idiot you'll finally get it. But I don't hold out much hope for you because you seem to be nothing but a stubborn, know-it-all, punk, brat who won't listen to reason and common sense..

You remind me of the GEICO commercial where they pose the question: "Does a former drill sergeant make a terrible therapist?" :laugh: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=GEICO+would+an+ex-drill+sergeant+make+a+good+psychoanalyst%3F&ei=UTF-8&fr=clearspringff21gunsalute said:

People here don't like to acknowledge this, but it is possible to be a winner at blackjack without playing at a mathematical advantage. It just takes luck.

Of course it is. But you can't make yourself lucky. You can't study to be lucky. Rubbing a lucky rabbit foot won't make you lucky, even though you might think it does. A lucky person would be well advised to study advantage techniques to supplement his luckiness. You never know when your luck will run out!Blue Efficacy said:

One characteristic is over-betting your bankroll even with a decided advantage over the house. in an attempt to get even after a serious bout of negative variance. You've been there, zg, don't deny it. And sometimes we manage to pull a Houdini and escape or even win. At other times, we only compound the problem. Did you ever mentally increase your replenishible bankroll while in the throes of negative variance? I have, and it's not a good sign. :laugh:
Another type of steaming is an attitude that I'd rather go home broke and at least take a chance on winning some of my bankroll back. This has led me to drop bets of $500 or a $1,000 on the roulette wheel. To date I am $3,000 ahead doing this stupid maneuver. :laugh:
The worst kind of steaming is failing to end a losing session when you are tired, hungry, and depressed. You refuse to give up. You keep saying to yourself, this cannot continue--yet it does. Fuhgetaboutit. Fate has your number. The more you play the more you lose, and your thinking goes kaput. You make bad moves and unwarranted bets. This is something I experienced in my first year at the tables, but less and less ever since. Now, it does not faze me to walk away from a losing session. At least, they are getting shorter and shorter, and I do value my sleep time. There's always tomorrow.
THere you have it Mr. Z-- can you relate to any of it? I'm sure you can. Either that, or you're over-dosing! :laugh::whip:

If you lose at roulette just keep doubling your bet until you win. :devil:aslan said:

I love 'steamin' when the shoe is very positive and I am losing. So, if you ever see a guy standing at the table, with eyes big as silver dollars, saying over and over, "I gotta get it back, I gotta get it back!!" and then often times actually getting it back pretty fast there and then he is yellin, "whoo yeah, Spocks got nothing on me!! Spocks got nothin on me!!" Well, you very well may have just seen me at work.aslan said::laugh:

Sometimes I can be quite animated and cuttin antics and crackin wise. I see some players in a deep concentration and they just hate that stuff. But, alas, not today. My girl friend didn't go to work today because of the snow strom that hit yesterday and she is lining up chores for the ghost.aslan said:

and have we all done it? well i dunno, but i know i have
. not very often thank goodness, but it doesn't have to be very often to inflict some rather severe damage.triggers for me seem to be the fact that i apparently value my bankroll money much, much more and in more ways than my rational conscious seems to believe. so apparently the subconscious shock of a loss seems to sort of sneak up and take control, sorta thing.
couple that with having led a really, really lucky life, hence a over valued sense of luck and one has a recipe for disaster.
whatever, steaming and our predilection towards it is something it would be wise to get a handle on.
